In a regular polygon of $n$ sides,each corner is at a distance $r$ from the centre. Identical charges are placed at $(n - 1)$ corners. At the centre,the intensity is $E$ and the potential is $V$. The ratio $V/E$ has magnitude.

  • A
    $r$
  • B
    $r(n - 1)$
  • C
    $(n - 1)/r$
  • D
    $r(n - 1)/n$

In free space,a particle $A$ of charge $1\,\mu C$ is held fixed at a point $P.$ Another particle $B$ of the same charge and mass $4\,\mu g$ is kept at a distance of $1\,mm$ from $P$. If $B$ is released,then its velocity at a distance of $9\,mm$ from $P$ is [ Take $\frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9\,N m^2 C^{-2}$ ]

An empty thick conducting shell of inner radius $a$ and outer radius $b$ is shown in the figure. It is observed that the inner face of the shell carries a uniform charge density $-\sigma$ and the outer surface carries a uniform charge density $+\sigma$.

Suppose the charge of a proton and an electron differ slightly. One of them is $-e,$ the other is $(e + \Delta e).$ If the net electrostatic force and gravitational force between two hydrogen atoms placed at a distance $d$ (much greater than atomic size) apart is zero, then $\Delta e$ is of the order of $[$ Given: mass of hydrogen $m_h = 1.67 \times 10^{-27} \, kg]$
